Tunisia ‘backsliding’ in protecting migrant rights: UN
GENEVA: Tunisia has scaled down its protection of migrants’ rights with arrests of rights activists, United Nations human rights special rapporteur Mary Lawlor said in a statement on Tuesday. “The arrest of migrant rights defenders and the general climate of hate speech and smear campaigns against them in Tunisia is further evidence that the country is backsliding in its commitment to the protection of human rights,” the statement said.
